About Us
CLIMB 4 embodies our mission to provide a Creative Learning environment that is Inclusive, benefitting Mind and Body 4 our community.
Our aim is to create an inclusive environment for everybody. This involves removing barriers by providing accessible support and training for children, young people, families and individuals, many of whom are or at risk of or have struggled with poor mental or physical health, are on low income, or unemployed or struggling to attend school.
The services we provide enable participants to form positive relationships in a safe and friendly environment and be part of decision-making processes. This approach raises aspirations and improves confidence.
We offer a range of programmes, groups and activities, bringing people together in a safe and friendly environment.
Our programmes and groups are delivered by qualified and experienced practitioners including teachers, teaching assistants and counsellors. Where possible, we offer free or subsidised opportunities for vulnerable people, those on low incomes, seeking work, in care, experiencing poor mental/physical health with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND).
All of our programmes are user-led, with the ideas and development of projects formed and implemented collaboratively between participants, volunteers, staff and partner organisations. They include…
- Creative Programmes - expressive arts activities, holiday, after-school and youth clubs for children and young people.
- Learning & Training Programmes – supportive employability workshops and activities, work experience, volunteering, traineeship and apprenticeship opportunities for adults aged 18+
- Health & Well-being Programmes- includes our user-led flagship programme, Positive Active Minds (PAM). PAM supports people experiencing poor mental health by providing a safe, informal environment, where they can meet and share experiences.
- Physical Development & Exercise Programme– includes our PATCH programme which supports babies, pre-school children with their parents/carers, to develop physical and sensory skills through playing and exercising together.
Being involved with CLIMB 4 helped me in lots of ways. It improved my mental health, it helped me improve my confidence and it gave both myself and my son the opportunity to make new friends...
